...possible deadlock was the farthest thing from the Crimson minds, though, when with 12 minutes remaining the laxwomen hold on 11-8 lead. Crucial turnovers caused the game's momentum to switch to Temple, which needed some last-second heroics to tie the game. Jan Gowan's goal with just four seconds remaining left the Crimson crushed, and holders of a 3-1-1 record...
...price, a transparently hypocritical stance. For months Iran had been offering discount prices, sometimes as low as $26, in hopes of boosting production. The Iranians fear that if the benchmark price were slashed, they would have to offer even deeper discounts to maintain sales. In the face of a deadlock on the pricing issue, some ministers began talking openly of an unprecedented move: reaching a majority agreement that left out Iran.

Blair robbed the visitors several times in that span, a 20-ft. blast by Randy Velischek sent the freshmen rolling pads over helmet, but stayed in Blair's glove. And at 5.35 Mitch Ofson made a spectacular diving stick check, flying into the net but saving a sure goal...
